My Favorite Moments of Summer

With the end of the three day Labor Day weekend, I can't help but think of how quickly summer passed. Maybe there should be a scientific study to double check if the world isn't spinning double time or something. Just to make sure we aren't getting scammed on our summers :) I'm not too sad about summer ending and my favorite season beginning. Can't wait to get some cool weather here! While I wait I have to admit this summer was surprisingly awesome for a few reasons. Here are a couple of my favorite moments:

#1 Our trip to Iowa. Not the best circumstances to take a trip but it worked out in the end. For the first time in years, nearly all our extended family was together. Most days were spent crammed in a small hospital room or waiting room. After visiting hours, we would stay up till 2am being silly like kids. The time together seemed to change so many of our relationships. Such a blessing!

#2 Hiking in Colorado. I love hiking. I love Colorado. Enough said!

#3. Biking Coronado. We were all back to school and work but it still happened in the season of summer :) I would rent a double surrey again in a heartbeart. Preferably with at least one other adult this time!

Fun times! I can't imagine what next summer will bring. The kids will be so much older and who knows what the military will bring our way. It's hard to believe our mellow summer in California could be replaced by a summer on another coast or another country. The magic of military life :)
